302mm rotors on t5r? 850

Hi Brikkies,

Has anyone any know-how if it is possible to replace the standard 280mm rotors and calipers on a '95 850 with the later '98 302mm rotors/calipers ?

I need to change rotors and wonder if this upgrade, when possible, makes sense.

If your car is on factory 16" 5 spokes rim, you need to "sand" down the caliper a bit to avoid scrub. But seems like you have a T5-R, you'll be ok with 17's.

Check out the IPD kit for this purpose. I think you have to have 17" wheels.
